Three days through the far south with the filming locations included: the Mos Espa set still standing in the dunes, the canyon oases at Chebika, Tamerza and Mides, the Chott crossing, a night in a desert camp and the pit dwellings of Matmata.
3-Day Sahara & Star Wars Locations Tour with Camp Night Included: 3 days / 2 nights from Tunis taking in 10 places, with a car and driver for your group only — from €581 per vehicle for up to 2 travellers.
Tunisia is where Tatooine was filmed, and this circuit goes there properly: the Mos Espa set at Ong Jemal, still standing in open dunes forty kilometres beyond Tozeur, and on the last day Matmata, whose underground houses played Luke’s home. Between them, things no film needed to invent — the canyon oases at Chebika, Tamerza and Mides, and the mirage-flat crossing of the Chott el Jerid.
One night is spent in Tozeur and one in a desert camp, with dinner by the fire. The off-road leg to Mos Espa is driven in a 4x4. As always with us, the vehicle is your group’s alone and the price is per vehicle, agreed before departure; accommodation and camp are confirmed with your dates when you book.

Desert nights are cold from November to February: bring a fleece even when the day was 25°C. Sandstorms are possible in spring and can close a piste for a day.
Yes. The vehicle is yours alone — no other travellers are added, and there is no pick-up round of other hotels before the day starts. The price is for the vehicle, not per seat.
The price is €581 for 2 people — the vehicle and driver for the whole trip, plus a bed each in the desert camp with dinner and breakfast. That is about €291 each. A third or fourth traveller shares the same vehicle and adds only their camp bed.
Pick-up is from your hotel in Tunis, at the time you choose. Tell us where you are staying when you book and the driver comes to the door.
October to April. This itinerary goes into the deep south, which regularly passes 45°C between May and September — the sites are still open, but the middle of the day becomes hard work.
No. The price covers the vehicle and the driver. Accommodation along the route is arranged for you and quoted with your dates — tell us how many of you there are and we come back with the whole figure before you commit.
Yes. Up to eight travel in one minivan; nine or ten in two vehicles with the same driver team; from eleven we put you in a minibus (up to 20) or a coach (up to 50, more on request), with a driver-guide who knows the sites. The price stays per vehicle and is quoted personally — send us the number and the date and you have the figure within the hour.
